AB  - As all laboratory equipment ages and contains components that may degrade with 
      time, initial and periodically scheduled performance assessment is required to 
      verify accurate and precise results over the life of the instrument. As 
      veterinary patients may present to general practitioners and then to referral 
      hospitals (both of which may each perform in-clinic laboratory analyses using 
      different instruments), and given that general practitioners may send samples to 
      reference laboratories, there is a need for comparability of results across 
      instruments and methods. Allowable total error (TEa ) is a simple comparative 
      quality concept used to define acceptable analytical performance. These 
      guidelines are recommendations for determination and interpretation of TEa for 
      commonly measured biochemical analytes in cats, dogs, and horses for equipment 
      commonly used in veterinary diagnostic medicine. TEa values recommended herein 
      are aimed at all veterinary settings, both private in-clinic laboratories using 
      point-of-care analyzers and larger reference laboratories using more complex 
      equipment. They represent the largest TEa possible without generating laboratory 
      variation that would impact clinical decision making. TEa can be used for (1) 
      assessment of an individual instrument's analytical performance, which is of 
      benefit if one uses this information during instrument selection or assessment of 
      in-clinic instrument performance, (2) Quality Control validation, and (3) as a 
      measure of agreement or comparability of results from different laboratories (eg, 
      between the in-clinic analyzer and the reference laboratory). These guidelines 
      define a straightforward approach to assessment of instrument analytical 
      performance.
